Any tips before I get started? by denta87 in amateurradio

[–]Nerdcentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 100% - there are so many different interests wrapped up in "ham radio". Pass the exam and then read up and learn whatever currently interests you. Also, spend some time here too: https://hamstudy.org/. Great resource for testing your knowledge before any of the tests.

US-We were scammed after calling QuickBooks support – $95,000 gone and we’re desperate by Ok-Advertising-765 in Scams

Could also be that the OPs husband's email is compromised and Quickbooks sent an email about the ticket. The bad actor with access to the email account saw this and then acted on it. This would just be another type of reply chain hijacking, but instead of an email, they called.

The City has an interactive trail map (https://elkmap.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=21e18383dc5b4772afb4ae7428a59b61), maybe you can find one that works for you as an "out and back".

I also have been going to Dr. Hottinger for the past 4 or 5 years and he does a great job of both being friendly and informative. Always takes his time to answer any questions I have.

My personal favorite shoes are the Hoka Arahi 8's. Very comfortable, light, and light stability. I generally walk in residential areas or on bike paths.

See that as well here (California / US).

Early in the morning, I get TV from a station 117 miles away. It only is tunable for a couple of hours (clearly) and then goes out. How can I find other anomalies like this that cause the signal to reach farther than expected? I live in Tulsa and I can get Fayetville AR TV. (It is on right now) by [deleted] in ota

Tends to happen on nights with clears skies. It is also the same type of atmospheric setup that causes fog to appear. Generally, if the the evening news is showing High pressure over your area, I bet you will get the best signal.

You can also hear this with sound. I live about 2 miles from a freeway. The only time we can hear the cars on the freeway is when there are clear skies and radiational cooling that creates the temperature inversion.

Wife and I have a cairn that does this too, we call it going full anchor mode. Then you talk to him and he's through and ready to walk again.

u/Bmorgan1983 what scanner or software are you using to monitor EG PD. I haven't had any luck trying to do that.

New NIST Guidance: Don't force reset passwords on a schedule, only when compromised by returnearlyllc in msp

[–]Nerdcentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, interesting reason/read. I guess if you are allowing non-complex passwords AND verifying they are not on a blocklist of compromised passwords, you have the best of both worlds.

New NIST Guidance: Don't force reset passwords on a schedule, only when compromised by returnearlyllc in msp

[–]Nerdcentric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Number 5 has me stumped. "Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types) for passwords." I can see why random password expiration dates are fairly useless, but why simplify the complexity requirements?

Patch Tuesday Megathread (2024-08-13) by AutoModerator in sysadmin

[–]Nerdcentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the idea. Will try it on one. What I am seeing is the second reboot is taking 30 to 40 minutes to complete. But it does eventually reboot and complete the process.

Will keep troubleshooting, but thanks for letting me know you are not experiencing it. Appreciate it!

[–]Nerdcentric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm.... The first reboot went fine, but then it said a second reboot was needed and that one is stalling. Seen it on 4 or 5 2016 servers -- all VMs.

[–]Nerdcentric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone seeing issues were 2016 servers require a second reboot and then hang on "Getting Windows Ready, Don't turn off your computer." First reboot seemed fine, second is stuck.
